Summary for refinishing anodized aluminum Discussion
Refinishing anodized aluminum on fishing reels is the core question here: Ryan Halby asks how to restore the worn, scratched gold finish on several Penn International reels that have been bounced around and now look badly abraded. A later poster, RT Enbown, says he has the same problem with a Penn International, but no solution is given in the excerpt. Because the thread text provided contains only the questions and no answers, there is no documented repair method, product recommendation, or restoration process to summarize from the source. The practical takeaway from the available text is simply that these reels have damaged anodized aluminum finishes and the discussion is seeking advice on whether and how they can be refinished.
Q. Sirs:
I have several international penn reels that are anodized aluminum. They have have been bounced around a lot and look like hell! What can I do to restore the finish on them? The golden looking finish shows deep scratches and rubbing abrasive wear spots.I’d appreciate your input!
Thank you,
